  • HoplessSparky StonerSparky (@HoplessSparky) reported

    @aaronkellerOW Calling bullshit on the DDoS attack. I literally watched Timthetatman get qued from 600 to 0 straight into the game after having the Overwatch account in his stream and he literally said he got whitelisted. They're too afraid to admit it so DDoS scapegoat it is.

  • NimmyTash Nimmy™ (@NimmyTash) reported

    @BerrensJoey You can buy and own Overwatch 2, but you can't play unless you have a contracted mobile phone service. If you don't have a mobile service, use a digital number instead, or even have pre-paid you can't play. All about selling your data.

  • 222rosebud Rosemary 🏳️‍🌈 (@222rosebud) reported

    I was in queue for Overwatch 2 for two whole hour’s.. and got a error message. Why did they have to break my comfort game man😭 #Overwatch2 #Overwatch

  • Munchkinteaa Munch ❀ (@Munchkinteaa) reported

    @MatsNotHere i haven’t even bothered with overwatch because of the problems everyone’s having 😭

  • MilezFPS Milez (@MilezFPS) reported

    Everytime I see a clip titled "Overwatch 2" I just know it's gonna be a disconnect clip lmao

  • Attixulated Atticulated (@Attixulated) reported

    What ******** is happening with Overwatch 2. I've waited over 3 hours and still stuck on "In queue: 2000 players ahead of you". Blame a DDOS though but show no proof 👍🏻 #Overwatch2

  • AgotiAndromeda Skippy_Dinglechalk (@AgotiAndromeda) reported

    How tf did overwatch not prepare for a ddos attack? Like it's a well-known game developer releasing a new game, of course, there are gonna be some virgins who wanna ddos it.

  • Hypepredator325 Hype (@Hypepredator325) reported

    @LunisNightwind I agree, mainly because if amazon's mmo chungs and has connection issues then obviously a game as "exciting" as overwatch chugs on release it makes sense

  • zde82904 Zde82904 (@zde82904) reported

    @BlizzardCS Why is there a 2000+ user queue in Overwatch 2? Please tell me that it isn't *another* DDoS.

  • dahyunsoo brittney 🤍 (@dahyunsoo) reported

    literally almost none of my overwatch unlocks migrated over they better fix that

  • tintedZX tinted (in le gamer arc) (@tintedZX) reported

    @TheActMan_YT Apex, valorant, league, etc why is it an issue when the game went free to play were not talking a paid for game with characters you have to buy were talking a free game where you can get the characters post season for free. Why point out overwatch before the others??

  • BillthePawn BillthePlayerPawn (@BillthePawn) reported

    @Grummz lol they made Overwatch a class issue. Spending over 100 bucks a month on an unlimited data plan phone is a horrible lifestyle. It should not be considered the default.

  • TheBeanBagel Tifo (@TheBeanBagel) reported

    Okay I won’t lie I was excited for overwatch 2 but I refuse to play a game where it’ll try to force me to use a phone number to play a free to play game and they should fix their site because I’ve been wait to get my email verification for a while and nothing came through

  • upgg_neutral Franz Irorita // Neutral ✈️ TI2022 (@upgg_neutral) reported

    I don't like the entire "Overwatch 2 launch was a disaster" narrative. I mean, yes, it was a disaster, but people seem to glaze over the fact that it got DDOS'ed. I bet things would have been really different had there been no ill actors at launch.

  • simplyotina Tee Rex (@simplyotina) reported

    @aaronkellerOW @PlayOverwatch How about reverting back to Overwatch one until you fix it?

  • reallyprone Prone (@reallyprone) reported

    @tearzwtf you were supposed to do it b4 overwatch 2 dropped,but,blizzard comfirmed they are gonna fix it

  • Tilex411 Tilex411 (@Tilex411) reported

    @SLN_Mako94 Count you lucky, Ive got that problem since launch, Haven't been able to play yet.... @OverwatchFR @BlizzardCSEU_FR

  • VioletTheWolfi Fang The Lovable Lion (@VioletTheWolfi) reported

  • kaeShok Kae (@kaeShok) reported

  • chasevip Chase 🛸 Las Vegas Promoter (Zouk Nightclub) (@chasevip) reported

    @wearelostkings Overwatch 2 is broken Halo infinite is dead Street fighter 6 is closed beta ... I had to go outside today **** sucked

  • Jerichode777 Jericho (@Jerichode777) reported

    Overwatch 2 has brought out the goblin gamer in me that has laid dorment for about half a decade. All I can think about is gaming. I don't need sleep I don't need money (requires work, which is time not gaming) I dont need connection This is a problem. I'm a better man than this.

  • melk1t melkit (@melk1t) reported

    just found out that the overwatch 2 servers were Ddossed, just gonna send a big **** you to whoever did that. i hope blizzard can fix this soon because this is getting kinda annoying ngl. #Overwatch2

  • CL2267200775 Snickerdoodle 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@CL2267200775) reported

    @omnicpost Honestly my main three gripes right now are the extreme rubber banding, log in queues, and tiny hit registration. Although they are significant problems, overall I’m excited to see where this leads Overwatch to be, especially because I’m finally trying more characters.

  • Zakarey23 DkShadow (@Zakarey23) reported

    Overwatch what happened I was fine yesterday now I can’t even get the error message

  • bloodys4bbath J (@bloodys4bbath) reported

    i don’t see the problem with the overwatch phone number ****

  • Regulxrbrd Brd🕊 (@Regulxrbrd) reported

    Are overwatch servers down

  • Tzeriel Billidan Stormrage (@Tzeriel) reported

    I'm fine with servers not working, but the fact Overwatch has somehow refused TO EVEN LOAD on my PC after loading fine at launch time yesterday is ******* infuriating. Like this **** was not tested at all, there's no way.

  • RogueAssassin25 Rogue Assassin (@RogueAssassin25) reported

    @aaronkellerOW It's been more than 24 hours, FIX YOUR GAME PLEASE. My friends who have NEVER played Overwatch a day in their lives logged onto it on PS4 no problem but a Day One player like me who's been FAITHFUL to everything wrong with your company can't log in??? Should've kept Overwatch 1.

  • yonkoj_ Josh 🇵🇷 (@yonkoj_) reported

    I just want to play some Overwatch but Blizzard is taking too long to fix their issue

  • icrs_1 𝑰𝑪𝑨𝑹𝑼𝑺 (𝐴𝑇𝐸𝐸𝑍 𝑇𝐴𝐾𝐸𝑂𝑉𝐸𝑅) (@icrs_1) reported

    overwatch 2 queue is absolutely ridiculous. the people who did the DDoS attack are absolute *****, and blizzard is absolutely garbage for not having safeties or backups in case something like this happened
